Yuck, that reminds me of C++ templates. it allows you to alias "{" as
"begin" (for example) and also to make such aliases... it can create a
lot of problems when people does not fully understand what you have
done.
I can think on other way to implement "alias":
procedure OriginalProc(..).. {$IFDEF USEINLINE_ALIAS}inline;{$ENDIF}
begin
end;
...
procedure AliasProc(...);
begin
{$DEFINE USEINLINE_ALIAS}
OriginalProc(...);
{$UNDEF USEINLINE_ALIAS}
end;
But it looks so ugly ...
